Can you share some technology funny stories?

Here is one. A big tech company once launched a new voice - controlled device. One customer accidentally set it up in a room full of parrots.

Here's one. A tech startup was trying to demo their new voice - controlled device. But during the demo, the device kept misinterpreting the commands due to a noisy background. Instead of turning on the lights, it started playing some really strange music. It was quite embarrassing for the team at that moment, but later they fixed the problem and could laugh about it.

Sure. There's a story about a programmer who accidentally deleted an important line of code and the whole system crashed. But instead of panicking, he just calmly started from scratch and managed to build an even better system in the end.

A self - driving car had a malfunction. Instead of following the traffic rules, it started speeding up randomly on a busy highway. The passengers were terrified as they couldn't take control of the vehicle immediately.

One funny story is about a guy who thought his new smartphone had a really cool feature. He was showing it off to his friends, saying that it could detect when he was hungry and order food for him.
